SMH. One line from the Fox News article cited above is quite upsetting: "Overby is believed to be in grave danger."

Hoping for good news soon.

I only see one Taco Casa in Lancaster, which appears to be about a 6 1/2 mile drive from the location listed by the police as her last one: 1300 E Parkerville Rd, DeSoto, TX 75115.

The restaurant is part of a gas station there. A lot of Dallas drivers have dash cams - I'm thinking that if the man was panhandling there, it's likely a good clear shot of his face is going to be captured by someone.

And people wonder why women will not stop and help someone. I hope she is found soon. My question, if he was really homeless, did he kidnap her in her own car? I cannot get the above link to work.

It doesn't say how he abducted her

I wish they'd do a press conference with something more, (such as where that last address came from).
Google maps is showing a cemetery there, a car repair place, and a car title loan place.

He may have asked her to take him to a homeless shelter or a church with homeless resources somewhere in the area, to get her to allow him into the car.

From the comments on the Desoto Police post, made by Desoto police:

DeSoto Police Department
We made several attempts to ask OnStar to track the vehicle. They claim they can’t track a vehicle without it being activated from the vehicle first. Unfortunately, there’s no way to activate a subscription without pressing the little logo in the vehicle first.

Is what they claim.

I would say yes since they put up a description of her car on the poster.

Her FB indicates she makes and sells baked items to raise money to help the homeless.

I'd imagine that made her more likely to stop and help, and as someone guessed above, maybe even voluntarily choose to drive someone feeling like she was helping.

So was he outside the gas station just hanging around?

 

[daybreaking]

Located safe in Laredo Texas, according to Desoto PD post. This is a 7+ hour drive, and on the border with Mexico.

She's is really lucky

 

[GraceG]

Glad she is safe. From this article I am wondering if she was kidnapped, or that was assumed based on her last known interaction being with a homeless person, after which point she wasn't located. I'm glad they got the word out there whatever the circumstances. Good news! Woman who was reported kidnapped in North Texas found safe in Laredo, officials say

The police have released more information. See the linked article for details. They are still investigating, but it answers some of the questions we have had.
